"Prop Bets
Phil Ivey is now accepting prop bets on pretty much anything. He just lost a $1,000 bet on whether Hellmuth would lay down a hand after being rerasied. He did, and Ivey lost the bet. Beth Shak heard the bet and warned the rail not to become too degenerate, Ivey responded, "I'm just getting started." "

Hellmuth Doubles Up
Hellmuth raises to $120,000 and Dustin Holmes puts him all in. Hellmuth insta-calls with K10 and as soon as Fineman tables QJ Hellmuth sprints over to Ivey to make a bet. The terms are quickly agreed upon, and Hellmuth ends up betting another $30,000 against himself on the QJ. The board comes 5438A, Hellmuth's king high takes down the pot, doubling him to around $600,000 in chips. It also costs him another $30,000 in real money, and he claimed he was now down $89,000 to Ivey on the night.

Phil Hellmuth Eliminated 6th ($76,464)
Hellmuth raises to $120,000 and is called by Beth Shak. The flop comes Q106, and Shak moves all in, putting Hellmuth to a decision for all of his chips. Hellmuth makes the call and shows down A10, but is behind Shak's KQ. he next two cards brick out when they come 92 and Hellmulth is eliminated in 6th place. He ends up losing $109,000 to Ivey on the day, so even though he made $76,464 for sixth place he is down $32,536 on the night.

Between this and the TJ thread, Phil is gaining more and more respect in my book (not that I didn't like him b4).

it was not prop bets, i listened to most of the final table while phil was still in, and all the bets were insurance when phil got it in as a favorite. if phil's AA lost to a 47o ivey would have owed him 90,000

[Dave_K]

He took so much insurance that he lost money getting 6th? Hahahaha that is hilarious
